ENGLISH B. Ellen Sharpe, Freshman Class s p 0 n s o r, instructs Freshman English classes. Clarissa Miner found time from her pedagogical duties to be Senior Class sponsor. Martha Clemens, one of the sponsors of the annual, has been sponsor of the Philoso- pher since its beginning. SOCIAL SCIENCE Seldom does a student graduate from Lew Wallace who hasn't come in contact with the fine mind of Flor- ence Cireve. Willard Tor- mohlen, when not teaching, finds genuine pleasure in the masculine company of the Sphinx as one of its spon- sors. Gail Snowden enjoys injecting vitamin B, into plants as well as into Amer- ican History. GUIDANCE E v e r e t t Hartsough teaches classes in safety and general science, Margaret Neeld Coons is our school librarian who knows just what book to recommend on any subject, and Allegra Nesbit, as our student ad- viser, helps many incoming freshmen arrange their four- year plans and aids many outgoing seniors in deciding upon vocations and colleges. DOMESTIC SCIENCE Under the supervision of lris Roesinger, the members of a newly organized class for training boys in the cul- inary arts have planned, cooked, and served delicious meals to numerous fortun- ate guests. She shares the girls' cooking classes with Georgia Harding who also teaches sewing. ART Neola johnson, who de- votes much of her spare time to painting and sculp-- turing, teaches handicraft and freehand drawing and sponsors the art club, the Wallace Wizards. john S. Hayes, one of whose hobbies is his farm, teaches the boys mechanical drawing and sponsors the Outside Patrol. SOCIAL SCIENCE Waldon A. McBride leads many a Freshman into the vast vistas of ancient times and serves on the Social Committee. Modern history classes of Violett Street are popular because of her abil- ity to make the course in- teresting jean Hayes being the teacher may be the rea- son that so many freshmen take history. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Ruth Bailey keeps us In trim by checking up on us and bandaging us when ne- cessary. Before her marriage in February, lsabella Brown instructed gym and dancing classes and sponsored the C.A.A. M i l d r e d Kelley teaches both high school and grade school girls the funda- mentals of dancing and vari- ous athletic sports. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Unless we miss our guess, each member of this three- some is probably engaged in relating a detailed account of the latest exploits and escapades of his particular offspring. C h a r I e s Baer coaches football and swim- m i n g, Sergeant Souders drills our R.O.T.C. compan- ies, and Richard P ol k c o a c h e s our basketball teams. WETHE FACULTY Page sixteen
